• 27 XPS one 2720 - replace 32 GB to 250 GB mSATA mSATA

  Hi all!

  I am new to this forum and http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19523887
  I found this very interesting link because someone has changed for one SSD 2 TB HARD drive which is very nice.

  Now I want to do what follows, I want to change the drive 32 GB mSATA for a 256 mSATA disc. If I understand correctly the mSATA drive is used for caching of large files, etc etc and there is nothing on the disk? I suppose the operating system / partition recovery etc. is on my 2 TB HARD drive?

  What I want to do is: clone my 2 TB on a new 256GB mSATA drive while I have the OS / etc etc on my mSATA recovery disk. So I want to replace the mSATA 32 GB by the new 256 GB mSATA and then I change the BIOS that the mSATA should operate like a normal SATA drive and not as a system of "cache".

  I'm wrong and I can do it like this? Or is the OS installed on this drive 32 GB mSATA? I don't know and I can't seem to understand. Any help is appreciated

  Greetings,

  You will need to check the editing by clicking on the Start button and selecting system.

  Before installation, check you to change the SATA operation so install you Windows on drive mSATA directly and not use it as a cache drive:

• Dell XPS One 2710 - SSD drive?

  Hello.

  I look forward to the new 27 '' AIO Dell XPS One 2710 with the 3rd Gen i7.  However, I note that there doesn't seem to be an SSD option in the settings.  Is it possible to have one included in the machine for OS and apps, etc.?

  See you soon.

  Do not order it on the site. I suggest that you build it the way you want, save to cart and print.

  Call the Dell sales department or use the Dell sales chat and ask if it is possible. In some of my orders that I couldn't include additional is by phone or chat.

• How to get a CD in the cd drive? XPS one 2720

  I put in a CD to use as a disk of start-up and windows install, it has failed several times to finish.  now I can't get the CD from the drive.  I don't see the usual hole to insert the paper clip.  How to eject without going through a system that works?

  You do not have.  You have to completely disassemble the whole unit, and then remove the optical drive.

• XPS One 2710 flickering of the screen

  My XPS One 2710 has worked great for over a year. This week, it began to falter on exactly half of the screen on the right side. The Twinkle is quite violent and makes this unusable side. I have updated all drivers and made diagnoses who have shown no failures. My BIOS is A09. I think that it is suitable for a machine running Windows 7. Any ideas?

  Thanks for posting.  A friend asked me to take a look at its XPS 2710, and it was indeed the problem.  The symptoms were exactly as described in the previous posts.  I took off the lid in plastic and metal and blew out an industrial fan at the rear of the machine to test.  The machine is stable for two hours, which was much longer while it lasted usually.  Satisfied with my tests, I got creative with my Dremel:

  

  Using a model of fan 140mm, a spare R2 from fractal, a 140mm fan Grill and fan 3 pin USB converter I cut a hole in the lid plastic and mounted equipment (the Converter 3 pin is necessary because playing with the CPU and GPU fan headers will cause the BIOS to start a fan speed error).  Then I reassembled the entire thing without the metal under protection.  Three hours of DURATION and no problem.  Before spazzing would begin after about 20 minutes.  $30 in parts to repair a $2,000 machine.  Not bad.  Thank you once again, everybody who posted!

• Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

  I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

  Read the following thread:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

  What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

  Thanks in adv!

  Hello

  I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
  Why?
  Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

  To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

  So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

• DELL XPS ONE 27 - no HDMI is not detected with a xbox 360. Help!

  Hi,
  

  I have a problem:
  

  I have my Xbox360 connected to a desktop computer all in one Dell XPS One 27 "with an HDMI cable and when i change the input from Computer to HDMI the monitor does not recognize the Xbox360 and get a screen black and a sign saying "No video on HDMI input detected".
  

  The issue is that my monitor has a resolution of 2560x1440 and I think the maximum resolution that gives Xbox360 is Full HD (1980x1020). But I read that the Xbox360 still have to re-scale the image until it is appropriate (ergo, leave black edges to complete the remaining pixels or, failing enlarge reducing the quality of it), right?.
  

  Anyway, I have also tried to change the resolution of my computer and neither detects Full HD HDMI (and I'm not sure that the Computer resolution remains once I make the switch to HDMI, but in principle, yes).
  

  That's it. I have asked in shops and specialists and everyone tells me that it is possible, but I do not see where it may be bad or failure.....
  

  Thanks in advance. :)
  

  PS: The cable I use is standard HDMI cable and the Xbox is FAT Xbox360.
  

  Hello.

  To resolve this problem, you will need to check that the HDMI cable is ENTIRELY in the HDMI PLUG! Believe it or not! The HDMI on the back of the OIA 2710 is a tight fit, and I thought I was going to break the taking, but he won entirely, and the xbox was on the screen.

  THE SOCKET IS A TIGHT FIT!

  MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HDMI SOCKET IS * ENTIRELY * IN.

  SHOULD THERE HAVE NO HDMI METAL SHOWING!

• Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

  I apologize in advance for the long post...

  Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

  I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

  When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

  I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

  What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

  Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

  Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

  Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

  Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

  The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

  For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

  1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

  2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

  3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

  4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

  5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

  6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

  These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

  I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

• Compatibility of the SSD with MBP

  I was advised to upgrade my MacBook Pro to replace my hard drive with an SSD. (Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB)

  The results were great. But after a few weeks, the computer would suddenly stop and restart. Initially, it was casual; last week, it happened several times throughout the day.

  Best Buy or Samsung would give me the time of day. I had owned the player for about 6 weeks. Tired, I bought another identical yesterday disc [never forget the madness of this decision!]. Today the computer just closed and restarted.

  Is there a problem of compatibility here?  Could someone suggest probable cause?  The original never hard disk once done this.

  Thank you.

  MBP 15 "mid-2010

  Intel Core i5 to 2.53 GHz

  Remove the SSD, install it in an enclosure, plug it into the MBP via USB and see if it will start the MBP externally (key OPTION key at startup).

  If so, the internal SATA cable is the main suspect.  Replace it.  This is common with SSDS in Mbps.

  If no success, run an Apple Hardware Test:

  Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.

  Ciao.

• XPS One A2420 64-bit driver

  I have an A2420 a XPS with Nvidia GeForce 9600 M GT. I tried to install Vista and Windows 7 64 - bit Os on this machine. The only problem I have is the video driver for the Nvidia card. I tried the Nvidia 64 bit driver for this card from Nvidia, but I get the error "cannot install due to hardware not recognized." Microsoft update downloads as a 64-bit driver and it installs. The problem is that in Windows 7, the video screen goes black every two minutes and a message appears saying that the card was insensitive and the operating system is healed. In addition, the mouse is erratic. This became very aggravating since I contacted the support technique dell several times and they assured me that this system would be in charge of Windows 7 64 bit and all drivers would be available. Someone at - it had the same problem and resolved it? If so, how.

  Thought I would add a comment to this topic, as it's the only one I found sound advice for this problem of video on the XPS One (thanks Rajer74). Mine is the A2420, but I would not be surprised if other models have been affected.

  My problem actually started after the upgrade video via windows update drivers when I still had the original Vista 32 bit installed. Thought it was vista because it is this rubbish a BONE, so upgraded to Windows 7 32bitt in the free upgrade to Dell - same problem. I tried 64 bit in desperation - no change.

  Symptoms-

  • An intermittent cutting of the screen
  • Occasional breaks / crashes/freezes mouse who then thaw
  • System freezes requiring a reset
  • Error message after the recovery of black screen - something about kernel flaw (unfortunately, I deleted my screenshot so do not have the exact wording)
  • problem with one driver other than windows standard VGA driver or original (very old) 32-bit vista driver (on the Dell installation disk).

  If you have any of these symptoms, it is not a fault of driver - there is a problem with your nVidia video card and it must be replaced.

  If your card works fine, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 will correctly identify the card as a GeForce 9600 M and install correct nVidia drivers. Drivers available through windows update are also correct and will work properly.  (Note that I have not been able to get the driver packs downloaded directly from the nVidia site to install, but I didn't spend much time on what Windows Update drivers are very well).

  It took me forever to resolve this issue with Dell. Their support based system check means that I ended up having to wipe my HD, re - install vista 32 bit original and go throught he process everything again before the tech would believe that the problem was not the driver 64 bits (or lack thereof). I know that their system is set up to accommodate the lowest common denominator of PC savvy-ness, but they really need to simplify things for those of us who have a little idea of what's going on. I had already tried all the tech then passed around again. Spent hours on the phone with him the wretch machine remote control.

  It is interesting material technology who arrived to replace the card took a look at the screenshot, I got the error and immediately said oh - "it's a problem with the card. His opinion is that, even if nVidia chips graphics excellent, they often have manufacturing problems that they are slow to own up to and difficulty. This isn't the only dell system that suffers from dodgy nVidia chips.

  For the record, the Dell XPS One A2420 works perfectly with Windows 7 64 bit. Drivers are available for all standard material in the machine. Also, if you got the Win 7 32 bit free update, your also activation code will work with Win 7 64 bit, I just borrowed disc one friend (even if retail Win 7 packs have 32 and 64-bit included, upgrade of Dell has only 32 bit). I installed on a clean hard disk, you do not need to upgrade Vista despite some odd warnings of M$ who install a cleaning may not work because this is only an upgrade license. In fact, I highly recommend get rid you of all traces of Vista and do a clean install. My machine works much better on Win7 64 bit.

  Hope that helps!

• Dell XPS One 2710 Fresh install

  I want to do a new install of the operating system with a new SSD, I intend to buy my 3 years old Dell XPS One 2710. It is my understanding that the Windows operating system authorization key is integrated into the motherboard. I think it is in the BIOS from what I've read.

  My question is if I install a new hard drive and do a clean from scratch the Windows OS authorization key install will still be valid and knit?  Moreover, would this work if I tried to do a clean install of Windows 10? Thank you!

  Throw the DVD in the trash if its for Windows 8.0 which is end of life. A DVD can be refused by SecureBoot. Also the Windows 8.0 installation and then allowing Windows Update for Windows 8.1 will lead to catastrophic performance.

  Its really simple to do theres just a bunch of information about the editions at the beginning... which often get confused. It seems that you are sure that your edition 8.1 Windows (Home) is however. Take a look at the associated tutorial video too:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Is6I9B9kjFM&list=PL1RkaknDn7v9wEeh0YXFqOFsrmws-9fYn&index=1

  This video tutorial is more direct because it focused only on Windows 8.x OEM with a UEFI BIOS licenses that apply to your system. It omits all details on retail licenses and hardware legacy. Note the .isos used in the tutorial video are Windows 8.1 with Update 2 and not Windows 8.1 with update 1 as shown.

• XPS One omitting 2710 USB devices

  I've been solving this problem for several months without success. My system is a current XPS One 2710 BIOS Ver A12 with all device drivers. The system is running WIN 8.1 worm 6.3.9600 9600 build updated all Microsoft updates and patches.

  Last year, I bought two external hard drives 1 to Seagate to use as a local backup (each disc contains different files). Both are USB 3.0 with appropriate cables which I plug into the rear USB ports on the XPS. When I start the Windows machine indicates all USB devices works (printer, scanner, both drives hard ext). Anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and sometimes longer, I hear the beep of the computer and in the lower left corner, a message appears saying a USB device has failed. (Printers and other devices are not affected and continue to work). I check in device for records manager and he tells me "unknown USB device (device descriptor request Failed)" here are the details about the failure:

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I ran out of ways to solve this problem.

  Have you checked the power management tab for each hub USB root in Device Manager?

  If the box: "allow the computer to turn off this device...". "is checked, acheck it and click OK. Repeat for all the USB root hubs, then restart. See if that helps.

  It was reported that it is a Windows problem that can be "fixed" by editing the registry. You can google for this info and edit the registry at your own risk...

  I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

  If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

  As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

  At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.
